2019 PACCIN Preparators Conference

Our first European PACCIN 2019 Preparators Conference was a huge success in Amsterdam (April 11-13th). Out of the 250 people attending, 38% were from North America, 23% from The Netherlands and the remaining 39% came from all over Europe and Asia. We are so grateful and honored to have the Stedelijk Museum, Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum as our organizing partners for the conference. They have opened their museums up for us and have shared our passion in what this conference represents.

39 Speakers from Europe and North America
19 Major presentations
10 Quick Tips
5 Prep Stories
5 Depot tours in and around Amsterdam

There were many valuable presentations and quick tips from the conference that were provided by experts in their specialized fields. We also had a few Prep stories that told about their path in becoming a preparator and illustrated how the role of the art handler and preparator is a very valuable and important profession in the museum community and fine art services industry. Through the guidance of our Programs Chair, Julia Latane, we also had inspiring presentations and panel discussion on the topics of diversity, equity and inclusion in our field that should encourage everyone on what the future can be.

We are proud to announce the following companies and individuals have generously donated to the PACCIN Event Scholarship Fund.
Their contribution is supporting four PACCIN members to attend the 2019 Preparators Conference in Amsterdam.
